Looking at Morgan, the men in Black suits found it to be quite bizarre. Was she really the Morgan that they had always known? It was definitely out of place since the Morgan they knew would have surely obliterated anyone for refusing her 'goodwill'.
Yet, even though it seemed like she wasn't angry that was just on the surface, inwardly though they knew she was like a volcano that was would erupt at any time.
"Okay, in a jiffy we shall begin the physical test, so Bernard cat please stay over there."
Bernard was a little confused, although he was confused he was inwardly happy, he had not expected them to actually let him participate even with everything that had happened.
He did as he was told, as he also went and stood beside those men in black suits, who all glanced at him weirdly wondering what sorcery he had used on Morgan.
Taking a sneak glance at Bernard, Sophia ash stared at him suspiciously for a few seconds before turning her face away. She felt something was not right, while others might not know much about Morgan the Slayer and symbiote beast she knew them like the palm of her hand.
Sophia's suspicion towards Bernard was raised by a notch again, inwardly.
"Sophia Ash, please kindly step forward," Morgan said as she stared at the person that had been shown on her digital watch.
Sophia considered this a charade to be nothing other than being ridiculous. She knew quite clearly, the academy had all the information about her and what she was.
"Please kindly, move to that side. Since you are here for your revaluation." Morgan ordered.
Sophia did as she was told, walking to where the men in black suits were.
"Emelia water, please kindly step forward."
Bernard turned around to look, and he realized it was the same girl who was worried about him when he was being humiliated.
She had a not too small not too big body frame, her big brown eyes blinked a few times as she began to walk nervously while looking at everyone before she pushed her glasses on the ridge of her nose and clench her weird-looking staff tightly.
Bernard assumed, her symbiote beast was likely a transformation type, at least from the way she was holding onto a wooden staff tightly.
"What is your symbiote beast?" Morgan said, staring at Emelia with a smile but a bit intently.
-----
"Since we are done, kindly follow me." Morgan briefly glanced at them, before she began to walk forward.
From the entrance of the place, they walked further into the field. While walking everyone noticed, that there were mechanical parts and robots scattered on the ground that were gradually reassembling themselves.
There were also signs of fighting and destruction however looking at these various machines and gadgets on the ground, even though they seemed like they were beyond repair, the strangest part was on closer inspection it was either they were reassembling themselves autonomously or gradually regenerating any parts from the previous destruction.
As soon as they were fully into the field, Morgan tapped her digital watch which then displayed holography imagery of various realistic drawings of machines, mechanical lives, and technological gadgets that could be fully accessed at a 360 angle. After a brief look at them, she proceeded to lightly touch the ones with the lowest chances of death.
"The test is to destroy the target as fast as you can, without getting hit by the laser beams. Bernard cat, please step forward." Morgan said, without staring at him and at the same time her eyes still on the panel in front of her. "Your time starts now!"
The moment she was done talking, three machines gradually rose from the ground from different locations that were not too far away from themselves forming a three-way triangle position.
A humanoid AI bot, with indistinct facial expressions, could be seen. Their arms were currently shaped like two short pipes, that would instantly shoot out laser beams upon the range of their detection.
Those two stood at the left and right corners of a metal mannequin, with three big red dots placed at the head, chest, and knees.
Bernard had a surprised expression, not because of the test but at the targets, to his surprise, the targets he was currently looking at, appeared to be blurred almost as if he was looking at something several miles from his standing position making him feel jittery. This made him immediately realize his so-called 'perfect' eyes, weren't as perfect as he once thought it was.
He noticed that compared to his previous eyes, everything in the distance was now nothing but a blur, whereas before he wouldn't be able to see without his glasses at all.
'Is this because my eyes are still adapting to the new changes?' Bernard thought to himself in a fluster.
Although he was confused he could do nothing about it, not to mention he couldn't communicate with the cat 'Mr meow meow' yet. After a deep breath, Bernard decided to finally run up to his targets.
Unsurprisingly, his results ended up badly, Bernard had an extremely tired expression as he kept on panting.
----- Twenty minutes ago.
After Morgan had called his name, she also explained that the laser bots and the mannequin were a pair of tests, meant to test both the agility(reaction speed), strength, and speed of a symbiote beast user at the same time.
So Bernard had no choice but to try to avoid getting hit by the laser beams at all cost, while at the same time was needed to either hit or destroy the mannequin.
And just like that, Bernard ran like a madman on the loose as he gave all his best to try as much as possible to avoid getting it by the laser, which to both his and everyone's surprise he was able to avoid getting hit the lasers by the nick of time.
However, besides that, he wasn't able to destroy or even make a dent in the mannequin, except for the fact it only vibrated for several seconds.
